For many of you, Remotely Thriving has always been an agency.
We hired people.
We built teams.
We served multiple clients at once.
We ran trainings and created opportunities for people in the remote space.
And we grew in the way agencies are expected to grow.
I’m deeply grateful for that chapter.
It taught me so much about business, leadership, systems, people, and, honestly, about myself.
But over the past few months, a lot has been shifting for me.
I’ve been reflecting more than usual. And I truly feel like God has been revealing a lot of things to me. Things I needed enough to see.
As I prepare to leave my 30s this year, I've found myself looking at life, success, faith, work, family, and even myself very differently.
For a long time, I believed growth had to look like:
More clients.
More people.
More services.
A bigger team.
A bigger operation.
But I’m starting to understand that growth doesn’t always have to mean scale.
Sometimes growth means knowing when to slow down.
Sometimes success means having enough space to actually enjoy the life you're working so hard to build.
And sometimes ambition isn't about building the biggest thing you possibly can.
Maybe it's about building something that is intentional, purposeful, and aligned with the life you actually want to live.
So Remotely Thriving is changing its structure.
We’re moving away from a traditional agency model and into a smaller, founder-led business and intentionally focusing on just a few clients at a time, with a small, trusted team behind the work.
For now, I want to slow down.
I want to be closer to the work.
Closer to the people I serve.
More present with my family.
More intentional about taking care of myself.
And more protective of the time and energy I have for the people and things I love.
I still want to build.
I still want to be ambitious.
I still want to do meaningful work.
I still want to work with great people.
I just want to do it differently.
I’m not stepping away from the people side of Remotely Thriving either.
I still care deeply about helping people grow in the remote space, especially aspiring VAs and remote professionals.
And who knows? Maybe trainings, internships, and other opportunities will find their way back into the picture someday.
But right now, I’m giving myself permission to slow down.
To pour more love into myself.
Into my family.
Into the people around me.
Into my faith.
And into the work that genuinely matters to me.
And honestly, I don't know if this is the “right” thing to do.
But maybe that's the thing about life.
Most of the time, we don't really know.
We make the best decisions we can with what we know today. We pray. We reflect. We take a step. We learn. We adjust. And we keep going.
And for the first time in a while, I’m okay with not having every part of the next chapter figured out.
Actually, I'm excited about it.
Because I still want to build something I'm proud of.
I just no longer want my ambition to be defined by how big it becomes.
Maybe ambition can also look like building a business that stays small enough to stay close to the work and spacious enough to stay close to your life.
To everyone who has been part of Remotely Thriving over the years, our clients, team members, trainees, interns, collaborators, mentors, friends, and everyone I’ve worked with along the way,
THANK YOU!!!
This journey has shaped me more than you know. 💛
